SEPTEMBER 2024HR TECH OUTLOOK191.How do you foresee emerging trends in organizational development affecting your ability to meet your business needs?First, I think we need to realize who we are and the impact we make. But we also need our business to invest in and believe in the work we do every day. Organizational development professionals are privileged to sit at the intersection of human potential and organizational growth. Our work is transformational to individual contributors, people leaders and the enterprise. Our team believes our role is building capability, unleashing potential and amplifying inclusion.Organizational Resilience and Change Management: In the face of a continuously shifting and often unpredictable business environment, the importance of organizational resilience and change management cannot be overstated. As organizational development teams, it is our responsibility to equip our organizations with the tools and mindset to build resilience, adapt swiftly to change and navigate disruptions. We must also be vigilant in observing reactions and outputs to enhance future initiatives. Change is a constant.Data-Driven Decision-Making: I feel like Taylor Swift is saying this. Still, we are in an era of data and analytics and the importance of data-driven decision-making is something we can no longer ignore. As organizational development practitioners, we must harness the power of data to measure the impact of our interventions, identify areas for further growth and make informed decisions to enhance our team members, people leaders and businesses.TRANSFORMING ORGANIZATIONS: A PEOPLE-FIRST APPROACHDenver N.
